"We're still alive, that's clear. We're just one goal behind. We're capable of winning anywhere. A 0-2 deficit would have been very difficult to overcome ... I was telling [Vinícius Júnior] that one goal would keep us in the tie."
"To me Mbappé looked very committed. He caused them problems. He showed why he's the best player in the world, he was a constant threat for the defence, and that's the Mbappé we want to see."
"It's a defeat [to Bayern] which we could have avoided, with a bit more luck in the second half. We had two mistakes, two losses of the ball, which we have to avoid."
"The goal gave us hope ... It won't be easy, but if any team can win in Munich, it's Real Madrid."
Real Madrid lost 2-1 to Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarterfinal first leg. Luis Díaz and Harry Kane scored for Bayern, while Kylian Mbappé netted for Madrid. Coach Álvaro Arbeloa stated that the team is still in contention, being only one goal behind. He praised Mbappé's performance despite prior criticism. Madrid's loss in LaLiga has made the Champions League their best chance for silverware this season. Arbeloa acknowledged mistakes that led to the defeat but remains optimistic about the return leg in Munich.
